linker_lists: Rename sections to remove . prefix

2022-06-23T16:58:18+00:00

Rename the sections used to implement linker lists so they begin with
'__u_boot_list' rather than '.u_boot_list'. The double underscore at the
start is still distinct from the single underscore used by the symbol
names.

Having a '.' in the section names conflicts with clang's ASAN
instrumentation which tries to add redzones between the linker list
elements, causing expected accesses to fail. However, clang doesn't try
to add redzones to user sections, which are names with all alphanumeric
and underscore characters.

kconfig / kbuild: Re-sync with Linux 4.19

2020-04-10T15:18:32+00:00

Align Kconfig and Kbuild logic to Linux 4.19 release with minimal impact

Our previous Kconfig sync was done by commit 5972ff077e0f ("kconfig /
kbuild: re-sync with Linux 4.18").

In this particular re-sync in order to keep clang support working a
number of related changes needed to be pulled in that had been missed

arch: Add explicit linker script for u-boot-elf

2020-04-03T15:52:55+00:00

Commit f4dc714aaa2d ("arm64: Turn u-boot.bin back into an ELF file after
relocate-rela")
introduce REMAKE_ELF option to recreate u-boot.elf from u-boot ->
u-boot.bin + DT -> u-boot.elf.

The best is to ilustrate it from make V=1 output
  cat u-boot-nodtb.bin dts/dt.dtb > u-boot-dtb.bin
  cp u-boot-dtb.bin u-boot.bin
aarch64-linux-gnu-objcopy -I binary -B aarch64 -O elf64-littleaarch64  u-boot.bin u-boot-elf.o
  aarch64-linux-gnu-ld.bfd u-boot-elf.o -o u-boot.elf --defsym="_start"=0x8000000 -Ttext=0x8000000

Last command has no explicit linker script passed that's why toolchain
internal linker script is used.
In Binutils 2.32 case it contains SIZEOF_HEADERS symbol which has changed
behavior by commit
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=64029e93683a266c38d19789e780f3748bd6a188

Xilinx tools like XSDB or Bootgen are using program headers for loading ELF
to the right location and by above binutils change ELF is loaded to
incorrect location.

The patch is explicitly use u-boot-elf.lds (just cat now) for u-boot.elf
recreation which is called when REMAKE_ELF is setup.
By purpose u-boot-elf.lds doesn't contain OUTPUT_FORMAT/OUTPUT_ARCH to be
able to use by all archs.

MIPS: fix linking of standalone programs

Use the global MIPS specific u-boot.lds for linking standalone programs
instead of the outdated ones in examples/standalone/. Also pass --gc-sections
in LDFLAGS_STANDALONE to optimize the size of standalone programs.
Finally remove the deprecated config.mk files in arch/mips/cpu/mips[32,64]/.

MIPS: make size of relocation table fixed but configurable

2018-11-02T21:39:07+00:00

Currently the size of the relocation table will be shrunk
to the actual size needed. Although this gives a maximal
space saving, it messes up the _end symbol. This breaks
features like appended DTBs because the _end symbol doesn't
point to the real end of the U-Boot binary.

Remove the size shrinking and make the size of the relocation
table fixed but configurable. This follows the Linux approach
and the user can adjust the size to his needs.

Also rename the relocation table section from .rel to .data.reloc
to follow the Linux approach and to avoid ambiguities with the
.rel.* sections added by the linker.

SPDX: Convert all of our single license tags to Linux Kernel style

2018-05-07T13:34:12+00:00

When U-Boot started using SPDX tags we were among the early adopters and
there weren't a lot of other examples to borrow from.  So we picked the
area of the file that usually had a full license text and replaced it
with an appropriate SPDX-License-Identifier: entry.  Since then, the
Linux Kernel has adopted SPDX tags and they place it as the very first
line in a file (except where shebangs are used, then it's second line)
and with slightly different comment styles than us.

In part due to community overlap, in part due to better tag visibility
and in part for other minor reasons, switch over to that style.

This commit changes all instances where we have a single declared
license in the tag as both the before and after are identical in tag
contents.  There's also a few places where I found we did not have a tag
and have introduced one.

MIPS: Stop building position independent code

2017-07-25T18:44:00+00:00

U-Boot has up until now built with -fpic for the MIPS architecture,
producing position independent code which uses indirection through a
global offset table, making relocation fairly straightforward as it
simply involves patching up GOT entries.

Using -fpic does however have some downsides. The biggest of these is
that generated code is bloated in various ways. For example, function
calls are indirected through the GOT & the t9 register:

  8f998064   lw     t9,-32668(gp)
  0320f809   jalr   t9

Without -fpic the call is simply:

  0f803f01   jal    be00fc04 

This is more compact & faster (due to the lack of the load & the
dependency the jump has on its result). It is also easier to read &
debug because the disassembly shows what function is being called,
rather than just an offset from gp which would then have to be looked up
in the ELF to discover the target function.

Another disadvantage of -fpic is that each function begins with a
sequence to calculate the value of the gp register, for example:

  3c1c0004   lui    gp,0x4
  279c3384   addiu  gp,gp,13188
  0399e021   addu   gp,gp,t9

Without using -fpic this sequence no longer appears at the start of each
function, reducing code size considerably.

This patch switches U-Boot from building with -fpic to building with
-fno-pic, in order to gain the benefits described above. The cost of
this is an extra step during the build process to extract relocation
data from the ELF & write it into a new .rel section in a compact
format, plus the added complexity of dealing with multiple types of
relocation rather than the single type that applied to the GOT. The
benefit is smaller, cleaner, more debuggable code. The relocate_code()
function is reimplemented in C to handle the new relocation scheme,
which also makes it easier to read & debug.

Taking maltael_defconfig as an example the size of u-boot.bin built
using the Codescape MIPS 2016.05-06 toolchain (gcc 4.9.2, binutils
2.24.90) shrinks from 254KiB to 224KiB.
